      How MOGL Connects to Shopify for Effortless Athlete Gifting

      MOGL partners with Influencer Gift Form for a bulletproof way to send Athlete Influencers products at scale.

      Why integrate with Shopify

      Yes—you can collect shipping addresses during Athlete applications using screening questions. But mapping each athlete’s product choices back to orders is tedious (and error-prone). A smoother path is to let athletes check out the approved items themselves—free to them, controlled by you—directly in Shopify. We do that by pairing your MOGL deal with IGF – Influencer Gift Form, a Shopify app that generates secure gifting links for selected products. 

      NOTE: in order to compensate athletes with free product on MOGL, you must be on the Professional or Elite plan

      What you’ll need

      • Admin or collaborator access to the Shopify store with permission to install apps.

      • Ability to add a payment method for gifting orders.

      • A clear count of athletes you’ve hired and which products you’re willing to gift.

      • (Optional) Your brand assets (logo/colors) to brand the form.

      Step-by-step: Create a gifting link athletes can use

      1) Install the Shopify app

      1. Log into Shopify admin.

      2. Install IGF – Influencer Gift Form from the Shopify App Store. After install, open the app from Apps in Shopify to launch the IGF interface. 

      Want see it in action? Here’s a sample form by the app’s founder. 

      2) Add billing & select a plan

      Inside IGF, add the client credit card and choose a plan that matches how many athletes you’ll be gifting this round. (Plans and limits are listed on the app’s Shopify page if you need specifics - there is a free trial and then the lowest plan is $19/month.) 

      3) Configure Settings (recommended defaults)

      In IGF, go to Settings and set:

      • Order limit per link = Number of athletes hired

      • Cart item limit (or Cart amount $ limit) = the per-athlete allotment you want

      • Products = Only the items you want to offer for free

      • Branding = MOGL’s or the client’s (your call)

      • Contact = Phone number

      • Product → Track Inventory = On (avoid gifting out-of-stock variants)

      • Bottom → Consent text = I consent to receive notifications about this shipment

      • Bottom → Subscribe to email = Subscribe to be updated about new merch as it becomes available

      • If athletes should choose their own shipping option, enable Order → Add Shipping to Order

      These settings keep orders controlled (no code abuse), visible in Shopify, and easy to reconcile—one athlete, one order, only approved products. (The app supports order/campaign controls and tracking inside Shopify.) 

      4) Generate the link

      Go to Links → Add link, then customize:

      • Name the link clearly (e.g., MOGL-[DealName]-[Month]).

      • Confirm your limits and product selections.

      • Save to get the shareable URL.

      5) Share with athletes

      • Send the link to hired athletes via MOGL messaging or your deal instructions.

      • Athletes select their size/variant from the approved catalog and complete the free checkout flow.

      • Orders appear in Shopify for normal fulfillment and status tracking. 

      Best-practice guardrails

      • One cohort = one link. Create a unique link per MOGL deal or hiring batch.

      • Tight catalog. Only include pre-approved products; IGF enforces that catalog. 

      • Set real limits. Use Order limit per link and Cart limits to prevent over-gifting. 

      • Inventory on. With “Track inventory” enabled, athletes can’t select out-of-stock variants.

      • Opt-in language. Use the consent & subscribe text above; align with the client’s privacy policy.

      • Brand it. Add the client’s logo/colors so the flow feels official and on-brand. 

      FAQs

      Does the athlete need a discount code?

      No. IGF creates a controlled gifting checkout for the products you selected—no codes to leak or misuse. 

      Where do we track fulfillment?

      In Shopify. IGF pushes orders into the store so you can process and monitor them like any other order. 

      Can we cap the number of items per athlete instead of dollars?

      Yes. Use Cart item limit in Settings; alternatively, cap by Cart amount $ limit.

      Can athletes choose shipping?

      If you enable Order → Add Shipping to Order, they’ll pick a method during checkout.

      What if we hire more athletes later?

      Edit the link and increase Order limit per link to match your new headcount.
